The second album proper from the duo of Innis Chonnel & Loris S. Sarid builds upon the horse box studio experiments of their initial collaborative tape Where The Round Things Live (2022) with a more refined focus on their playful synergy, all shifting textures, digital synth motifs and gigabat cave traversing side quests adding gracefully to the 12th Isle mythology. Fictional character Moshi details a ship-to-shore excursion across mountains, encountering deep-breathing bohemians, shaman shoes and butterfly towers along the way. The pair soundtrack said trip with eight tracks of drifting ambient-not-ambient, downtempo electronic jazz stylings and nods to cinematic synth scores and 90s techno trance futurism. Wood-workshop sampled percussive elements mesh with new age pleasantries and buried, bit-crush distorted vocal haunts. Looking For Mount Sylvan works with computer music, hi-tech dreams and electro-acoustic techniques alongside customised autoharp swells, natural world recordings of leaves-turned-percussion and a production attitude that breathes life into the fantasy realm our protagonist Moshi must navigate.
